You know those "mobile labs" in Iraq? The truck trailers allegedly used to make bio weapons?

Guess what.

Iraqi Trailers Said to Make Hydrogen, Not Biological Arms
By DOUGLAS JEHL

Oops.

There's also much harrumphing about whether the analysis back in May that led to the public announcement of the trailers' existence was politically rushed or not.
